HHS OIG’s first Chief Data Officer talks importance of networking, taking chances

“On this week’s episode of Women of Washington, Gigi Schumm welcomed Caryl Brzymialkiewicz, who currently serves two roles within the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, as assistant inspector general and as the first chief data officer. For her tenacity and great ideas, Brzymialkiewicz was named on FCW’s Top 100 federal employees of 2019.”

“Brzymialkiewicz said over the past four years she has made it her goal to act as an executive champion, promoting the department to focus more on data-driven decisions and ultimately leveraging that data as an asset. One large example of her work was the agency’s Enterprise Dashboard, a tool that provides easy-access to the status of projects within the department and other monetary data.”

“Brzymialkiewicz and her team wanted all those working under HHS OIG to be able to visualize the ongoing work of the organization without relying on outdated data or legacy systems…”

“Her passion for data integration is clear now, but her path to where she is today wasn’t exactly straightforward…” Listen to the podcast here.
